Erika Jayne is asking fans to respect her privacy regarding her current romance, but fans are calling her out for her hypocrisy.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star recently spoke to Us Weekly about her relationship with John “Shrek” McPhee, explaining why she has kept him largely off-camera.
Erika said she is drawn to people who are “confident and intelligent” and shared that they connected while she was in London for a music festival.
